Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

From the very first time
Back when
I met you
At school
I looked
In your eyes
Saw something
Special in you

We inspire that we
We'll be American dream
Escape this reality
Come start a new one with me
We could be
Neighborhood royalty
Or much more
Than that
You'll see
We're making history
We'll go
To the mass
Fly to heaven
And back
The highest heights
Imagine
Yes, we can do
All of that baby

La, la, la,
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la,
We could be
King and queen someday
La, la, la,
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la,
We'll never
Throw our
Dreams away

We'll make
This picture complete
Start a new family
A boy
That looks just like you
A girl
That looks just like me
And each day
That they grow
We'll teach them
All that we know
Help me show
Them the way
We'll show them
We're not afraid
To be free
The only thing
That should be
The fliest fantasies
The highest
They can dream
Grab hold
To my hand
Say that
You'll be my man
Someday
You'll be my king
And baby
I'm your
Queen to be

La, la, la,

We could be
King and queen someday
La, la, la,
La, la, la

La, la
We'll never
Throw our
Dreams away

Cities may crumble
The world
Is in trouble
But we'll
Be in love
(We're in love)
And we'll rise
Above it
(Rise above)
Each of our people
Pray for a leader
(Pray)
I know we will be someday
Someday
Someday
Someday
Someday

La, la, la,
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la
We could be
King and queen someday
La, la, la,
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la
We'll never

Throw our
Dreams away
